Just updated. Everything working good, no problems so far.

Anyone know the file sauce for this update? Is it substantial? What with this probably being the last update for Catalina. Will install later when I get home.

Update done last night on my macbookpro mid 2012 ...no problem to update and no issue to report at this time.
Most of my apps are working well, including Google Earth and NTFS for Mac...

Yes all installed here too, no issues. And installed surprisingly fast, more so than 2022-004.

After update works all fine, but if I check for new updates, the system endlessly searches for new updates and does not offer an update to Monterey.

It is a security update.
It is probably 10.15's last (and the last one of the OSX (OS10) series).
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT213343 has some info on it.

Can you still search your video/movie/tv library? Catalina just stopped doing that for me.

 

[wellander1]

Yes still works for me.

Yes still works for me.

Its weird. I open TV and search but it never produces anything in my library. It searches the Store but not my library.

Is it normal that the 1.6GB file: "SecUpd2022-005Catalina.pkg" sticks at "/Library/Updates/_ManualUpdate/SecUpd2022-005Catalina.pkg"? I can not even delete it. It takes space for nothing or it has to remain there?

I have the same file and behavior on my 2020 MacBook Air. There is no trash option and dragging it to trash doesn't do anything.

I am assuming this file may be required for maintenance and/or a foundation bootstrap for retrieving OS upgrades available in Software Update.

The 2020 MacBook Air was released with macOS 11 Big Sur. I see no reason for a Catalina update to be on that Mac. Have you used Migration Assistant/TimeMachine to set it up?
Anyway, you can delete all contents of /Library/Updates by disabling SIP or directly from Terminal in Recovery.

The early 2020 Intel MacBook Air shipped with 10.15.3. This is not an M1 Air.

I’m sorry, I’ve totally missed that part of the image that clearly says Intel and Catalina. Please disregard the first paragraph of my previous post.

Are security updates cumulative - eg, the last one covers all previous security updates?

Yes, you only need to install the most recent one.
